An Introduction to the Crafty Game Engine

Crafty is a lightweight HTML5 game framework you can use to create all sorts of 2D games. The following tutorial created by Darren Torpey and published at Build New Games guides you step by step into the making of a tile-based adventure game demo. It’s a great introduction to this framework.

In this tutorial, I’ll show you how Crafty makes it easy to make simple, 2D games and I’ll walk you through the process of making a very simple game from start to finish. By the end of the tutorial, you’ll know how to start making your own games from scratch using Crafty and you’ll have our example game built and running in your own development environment which will give you a great jumping-off point for future projects.
